Chapter 236
After the lithium-60 shrunk, the entire Titan was like a mobile energy source. The overflowing energy aura continued to dissipate into the surrounding environment, forming circles of energy ripples that constantly collided with Adam's strong magnetic field. The lithium-60 had obviously anticipated this situation. After a simple greeting, it calmed down its own flame of origin and leaned on Iron 72.
The unbearable heat quickly disappeared. Adam's molten defense immediately fell to the ground, along with a small piece of mithril that glowed faintly.
"Let's go," Iron 72 said as he flew out of the Iron Castle towards the southeast.
Iron 72 was not a talkative person. He carried the lithium-60 on his left shoulder and sat Adam on his right. He silently flew at high speed. When he encountered Metal Eaters, he fought alone.
He was very strong. When facing Level 8 Metal Eaters, he only needed to open his mouth and roar to shatter them. When encountering Level 9 creatures, he only needed to let Adam take care of the lithium-60 and charge into the enemy's formation to slaughter them.
After three days of silence, Iron 72 stopped at the border. He took out some energy blocks and threw them to Adam. "Replenish your energy. We'll need your ability for the rest of the journey."
This was the first time Adam had seen the border between the two races in the Titan World. The division was very obvious. One side was made of solid ore, while the other side was like a weathered desert. Looking up, one could see many broken cliffs. There was nothing below the cliffs. The Metal Eaters had devoured everything.
Adam used his perception to sense a completely different energy aura on the other side. "The energy aura is completely different. There are far more Metal Eaters than there are on the Titan World. I don't know where your final mission location is, but it will be very difficult to completely hide there."
Iron 72 threw the energy block into his mouth and crunched it. Hearing Adam's words, he tossed a small plug-in to Adam. "This is a simulator. Install it on your body and it can deceive the perception of Metal Devourers below rank 8. Don't worry too much. 75,555 kilometers from here is the border area. There won't be any large scale enemies. "
"Even so, there's still a high chance that we'll be discovered. You know the Gold Devourer's reproductive ability better than I do. There are only three of us, and only the two of you can fight. My level is useless behind enemy lines."
Iron 72's voice was monotonous. "No, I'm the only one with combat power. Lithium-60 will not wake up until we reach the final mission location."
"What is the objective of this mission?"
— — —
After crossing the border, Adam was the one in charge of the team's progress. Iron 72 opened up his own power and didn't say anything other than giving directions and being a mount.
Adam used the magnetic levitation function to offset the weight of the lithium 60 and reduce the burden on the team. After knowing the mission goal, any trace of energy from the iron 72 was extremely precious and could not be wasted.
Iron 72 said that it was safe within 75,555 kilometers, but the final location of the mission was 75,555 kilometers away. He could only provide a rough map and knew almost nothing about the distribution of Metal Eaters in the border area.
This caused some trouble for Adam. After becoming a Knight Titan, his electromagnetic ability had greatly improved. The range of his radar vision could cover up to a radius of 7,555 kilometers, but this would affect the effectiveness of the invisible barrier. Therefore, he could only monitor enemies within 6,555 kilometers. This distance sounded very far, but it was not safe at all behind enemy lines.
For a Level 9 creature, 6,555 kilometers was only a matter of seconds.
Adam suppressed the team's speed as much as possible and advanced in the border area using the most optimal route. The radar vision was densely packed with white dots. Adam could only use this method to reduce the chances of encountering enemies. However, doing so would inevitably lead to many detours. After a full five days, they had only just advanced to the central region.
"There is a group of 8,555 Metal Eaters in front of us. There are close to 755 Level 9 creatures." Adam landed on the ground and said to Iron 72, "They are patrolling in a semicircle. There are three more groups of the same group not far away. We have to pass through that path, so we can't avoid them."
Iron 72's body emitted a roaring sound. He handed the lithium 60 to Adam and said, "I will lead them away. You take the opportunity to sneak into the defensive line and wait for me at a safe place."
Adam's body flowed like water. He used Mithril to create a barrier on Iron 72's body. It could allow Iron 72 to sneak within 755 kilometers of the Metal Eaters without being discovered. After that, Iron 72 flew close to the ground and left alone.
In the radar, the green dot representing Iron 72 disappeared in a few seconds. Five minutes later, a violent explosion was heard in the distance. The energy shockwave caused a sandstorm to cover the sky. Adam carried the lithium 60 and sneaked towards the designated location.
He was very confident in Iron 72's combat power. He had already touched the Hyperdimensional bottleneck. Although the Metal Eaters were numerous, they could not kill him. He was afraid that it would cause a chain reaction and cause the Metal Eaters in the entire border to riot.
Adam successfully broke through the blockade. He could see that the Metal Eaters were getting farther and farther away, disappearing in large patches. Even the rest of the patrols were attracted and rushed in that direction. A huge hole had appeared in the defense of the inner circle.
Under the cover of the sandstorm and energy disturbance, Adam found a safe place to put down the lithium 60 and silently replenish his energy.
"Master, I am not optimistic about your mission. The Titan's decision is wrong. Your chances of success are infinitely close to zero." The Devil said. "There is a clear gap between the Titan's and the Metal Eaters' strength. It is not something that can be made up with a single mission. Instead of wasting high-level combat power, it is better to further shrink the defensive line and concentrate the resources …"
"They are not wrong." Adam interrupted the Devil. "The Metal Eaters' ability to expand and devour is disastrous. The loss of territory will cause the Titan's potential to decline, and the Metal Eaters will become stronger and stronger. They must protect every inch of their territory."
"But Master, have you ever thought that you might not be able to come back? Why didn't you refuse when he asked you before? "The Devil was helpless against his master's ability to court death.
Adam was not worried at all. He twisted in place a few times, and his body began to melt and flow to the ground. The decomposed Mithril quickly reformed, and dozens of small Titans appeared on the ground. Each of them had a burning flame in their body.
"Is this a clone? Can the Titans do it? "
The dozens of Adam sat in a circle and said one word at a time, "I don't know if other Titans can do it, but I can. The technology I use is even simpler than cloning flesh and blood. I have left a part of my flame and body in the Iron Fortress. Even if the main body is destroyed, any of my clones can be resurrected. "
The Devil was stunned. It took a while before he recovered and muttered, "Master, do you want to become a race by yourself? Then what should I call you? The Adam Race? "
